Recovering perfectionist,Tired of feeling trapped under your sky-high standards?

Let's reconnect with joy, creativity and emotional freedom.

You love doing a good job.
Or even better, a great job.
You are skilled, passionate, and people appreciate your work.

And yet, you feel stuck.

Your high standards are the guarantee for quality, and you expect to meet them at all times.Yet, trying to live up to your own expectations often leaves you feeling paralyzed and isolated. You keep pushing through work and life whilst your creative projects stay on hold, and inspiration seems to just fly away.Some days, all you can do is eat chocolate and wish you were a cat like Charlie...

It’s not like you haven’t tried anything.Maybe you have found relief in a movement routine. Or moving in nature. Different treatments and relaxation techniques. Talk therapy. Meditation, vision boards...

The thing is, you are not stupid. You are not lazy. But when the trigger hits, there’s usually no time to do a yoga pose.Focusing on restorative routines seems like a logical reaction under stress. Unfortunately, it can also keep us stuck in trying to control the symptoms rather than addressing the root cause.

These principles help us get to the root of it all:

Listening with the whole body:This helps us become present and connect with our sensory input instead of our busy thoughts. It helps us to get out of our heads and to feel what's going on right now.Curiosity instead of judgement:Most of us have grown up dividing things into "good" or "bad". Neutral and curious inquiry helps us to observe our actions and reactions, and to understand where they come from.Focusing with spaciousness:We are trained to go all in, to focus 110% on our goals.When we remember our ability to shift the focus, to zoom in and out and move between different aspects of ourselves, the space opens up.Suddenly there's more room to breathe. We can access the whole Universe and all the possibilities that we weren't aware of before.Applying these principles our belief structures can shift, and we can reach our goals with so much more ease.

Once we settle into the space within, creativity, joy and inspiration can flow right back in were they belong!

I am Hanna, a recovering perfectionist and a life long learner.

I feel closest to my purpose when I can combine music, somatic awareness and emotional healing.

I spent 15 years working full time as a musician and reached a lot of typical career goals like a permanent orchestral job, recordings and a teaching position at a university.I also went close to burn out and an identity crisis, and started to look for new ways of doing what I love.Through a solo recording project I discovered a deeper healing potential within the sound of my instrument and my voice. I began studying various healing modalities and became a Reiki master and a certified Adrien Blackwell method -energy healer. I also hold Master of Music degrees from Helsinki, Finland, and Weimar, Germany.Other strong influences in my approach are Alexander Technic and Feldenkrais Method, which I've been studying since my early twenties.I love creating a safe space for people to feel into their own solutions, beyond just analyzing the problems with intuitive sound improvisations and other healing techniques.My approach has already helped people to overcome sleep issues and anxiety, reduce physical pain and emotional overwhelm, and shift their every-day life experience for the better, permanently.

What people say:"Hanna helped me to clear a long-standing emotional pattern towards a family member. She found the connection with what was currently going on, to my childhood experience of feeling displaced by my baby brother.She helped me to release the emotions and limiting beliefs around that early time in my life. I loved that she gave me the time and space to really feel it all.It has been over two months since that session, and I feel free and at peace around that particular family member in my life now."
